Released in September 1975, 'In the Slot' is a definitive masterpiece of Bay Area Funk and the sixth studio album by Oakland’s very own Tower of Power. Serving as their final studio release under Warner Bros. Records, the album marks the fiery debut of lead vocalist Hubert Tubbs and the welcome return of legendary drummer David Garibaldi. Driven by a meticulously tight rhythm section and their famously overwhelming horn ensemble, the album delivers an ironclad instrumental punch on every single track. Whether you're spinning the propulsive Funk of "Just Enough and Too Much" or getting lost in the deep grooves of "Ebony Jam" and "Drop It in the Slot" (both famously sampled on the Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique), this record is an absolute must-have for classic Soul and R&B collectors.
